NEWSmakers: baby bumps and golden globes

Halle, Nicole, JLO and…… Jessica Alba

Yup, People Magazine is reporting that Ms. Alba and on-and-of boyfriend Cash Warren (wait, who???) are expecting. Reactions are mixed. For me its disappointment that she spilled the beans before we could even start gossiping about how fat she’s getting. I mean, water cooler talk isn’t complete without a rundown of who is with child, and who merely skipped pinkberry for a few two many double scoops. I never realized how much Christina, Nicole and Britney’s (twice!) denials meant to me. Endless thanks ladies for months of enjoyable speculation. Endless thanks.

Golden Globes vs. Writer’s Guild= Game on

Nominations have been announced for 2007′s best-of-the-best in movies and television; however the word on Robertson Blvd is that the official kickoff to awards season may not shine so bright this year. The on-going writer’s strike that has already taken from us such DVR favorites as the Office, The Daly Show, and The Colbert Report may have another victim. No writers, no awards show. The Screen Actors Guild will likely boycott the event in unison with the writer’s should it continue through January.

The strike was a big deal before, but now it’s personal. I LOVE awards shows. Here’s hoping the writer’s can negotiate a better package before we lose more than just our weekly Dwight Schrute fix! (P.S. Love him)

Britney Spears pulls one out!

Is Britney a “hot mess?” Absolutely. Does she make K-Fed look like dad of the year? Of course. Would you say she’s one of the craziest people in Hollywood? I would. There is no doubt she’d take the cake in a big famous loser contest, but I can’t help but concede that “Blackout” rocks, and the video for her new single, “Piece of Me,” is FIERCE. It quite likely involved the most extensive video touch-up budget in the history of music television, but the end result is pure Brit circa 2001 (minus the red jump suit and plus a rockin’ weave). Check it.

“I Am Legend,” legendary

The new Will Smith thriller has smashed box office records for the month of December, racking in almost 80 million dollars opening weekend. Two weeks ago he graced the cover of “Entertainment Weekly” as the fifth smartest man in Hollywood…… In other news, last week he hung out with best friend Tom Cruise, therefore knocking himself of the list smartest men in Hollywood.

Hallelujah! Carrie Bradshaw 4 Eva

I can’t wait for the spring for three really important reasons: 1. It’s my birthday, 2. I graduate from college, and 3. The long-anticipated Sex and the City movie FINALLY drops. As if that wasn’t good enough news, a 2nd and possibly 3rd SATC movie are in the works. Glorious.

I want to go back to “The Office.”

Countdown= 34 days. Get psyched! I am.

On September 27th we will FINALLY reunite with Pam and Jim as they go on their “first date!”

Ok, well their first date since that night Jim reffered to as a “first date” when they shared grilled cheese on the roof of Dunder Mifflin- Scranton and watched Dwight set off fireworks with Kevin (they were waiting for Michael who was in an important business meeting at Chilis with Jan). My heart broke when they shared that ipod and swayed together.

Will Jan become a housewife this season? Will Ryan go psycho on the branch as their new boss? Will Karen cope without Jim? Will Angela and Dwight ever go public!?!

My predictions: yes, yes, yes, yes.

To satisfy your appetite until September 27th…. http://www.creedthoughts.gov.www/creedthoughts

If you want to be a good hitchhiker, you’ve got to think outside of the thumb. Don’t just stand there when you could be dancing.

Today in my office where I work as Director of Quality Assurance, we went to the beach for some reason that was never adequately explained. When we were there, our manager told us to eat hot coals. I thought that was a little bit untoward so I ate a fish. Then a woman I have literally never seen before in my entire life started talking very loudly about something involving Halpert. She was agitated, I’d say. From what I could guess, she was definitely on drugs of some kind, perhaps cocaine, or maybe ‘drines. Also, she is a knock-out. She reminds me of a young Daphne Du Maurier. Also, I stupidly ate the fishbones. I told myself “never again” after the last time, but then you turn around, and bam, they’re in my mouth. I also ate 55 hot dogs in 15 minutes, which is a world record.

Restaurants were created to take advantage of the lazy. If you’ve got a forest and a lighter, you’ve got dinner.

Reminder: Michael’s safe combo: 20-22-36.

AMAZING!

Check out Dunder Mifflin online! I would like the travel tumbler for christmas. fyi
